Yaesu 7RB

Very impressive receiver.

The Yaesu VX-7R is a triple band (6M, 2M & 440 MHz) HT with extensive receive coverage, and leading-edge features.  Power output on 6 meters, 2 meters and 440 MHz is 5/2.5/1/0.5 watts. It receives the AM and FM broadcast bands, shortwave (AM), VHF and UHF TV audio, VHF Air and public service frequencies. This new model features a rugged magnesium case with rubber bumpers and gaskets. It clearly sets the standard in ruggedness, versatility and water resistance. It is actually submersible (3 feet for 30 minutes). There is even an optional submersible speaker mic. The Yaesu display at the Dayton Hamvention 2002 featured the VX7R submerged over 1 meter and powered for over 8 hours!

Other features include: magnesium case, 24 hour clock, 900 memories, changeable icons, severe weather alert, and multicolor LED strobe. The VX-7R also has an Internet key to access the new WIRES™ system.
